Ishmael (Mormon)

Ishmael was a figure in the Book of Mormon. He was a righteous friend of Lehi in Jerusalem, and he decided to accompany Lehi and his family as they left Jerusalem and wandered in the wilderness. Ishmael agreed to have his sons marry Lehi's daughters and have his daughters marry Lehi's sons, and the combined families both journeyed to Central America in 588 BC. There, Ishmael died.
